NCLEX Oxygenation Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What assessment finding is the earliest sign of hypoxia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Restlessness is considered the earliest sign of hypoxia. When the body is not receiving enough oxygen, the brain sends signals to increase the respiratory rate in an attempt to compensate for the lack of oxygen. This increase in respiratory effort can lead to restlessness as the body tries to improve oxygenation levels. Therefore, restlessness is often one of the first signs that a person may be experiencing hypoxia. It is important to recognize this early sign and initiate appropriate interventions to prevent further deterioration in oxygen levels.
